SURVIVOR-China... RECAP

WOOHOO... it's SURVIVOR Thursday!!! Here's the recap for those that may have missed the show!!!...

The show opens with the tribe members returning after voting Jamie out... "JR" (Jean-Robert) is "sweating" over the whole "hidden immunity idol" incident at tribal... James reveals that "JR" doesn't know the he (James) has BOTH the hidden immunity idols...

REWARD CHALLENGE... 2 teams of 4 in a sinking ship competition... they choose teams by "school yard pick"... Denise doesn't get picked... team of AMANDA, "JR", JAMES and TODD win reward... trip to an ancient village for a meal and a "hidden message"... At the village they eat a meal and read the "private message" given to them by Jeff... JR is shocked to learn that he has been out of the loop on the clues to the location of the hidden immunity idol... Todd, James and Amanda sit back trying not to laugh at JR'sexcitement over the hidden immunities... but decide not to tell him anything...

Denise is upset that she wasn't picked for the challenge... recalling memories of childhood and not being picked in school..."who wants to pick the "fat" girl"... she seems hurt...

James, Todd, Amanda and "JR" return from the reward when everyone is asleep... "Jr" immediately starts looking for the hidden immunity idol

Todd is upset that James has both immunity idols and hasn't even offered to give one of them back to Todd (since Todd "gave" James both idols to begin with)... Todd proposes to Amanda and Frosti that James go next (they would convince James he's safe and then blindside him at tribal council)

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE... Barrel Balance... each tribe member has to balance on a barrel while water drains out of the bottom... COURTNEY WINS (giving her a 1/8 chance at the million)

"JR" reveals to Erik that he (JR) has found a hidden immunity... Erik then shares with "JR" that the info he (Erik) has is that James has BOTH hidden immunity idols and the one that "JR" has is NOT valid... "JR" then confronts James over the idols... James plays dumb... but "JR" warns James that James would benefit by working WITH "JR" rather than against "JR"... James continues to play dumb... "JR" then confronts Todd with the info James has both idols (Todd then plays dumb)... Todd throws a bit of a fit over the fact that other people are getting the credit for HIS ideas)... Todd, Amanda and James decide to get rid of "JR" after consulting with Courtney and Frosti... Courtney's not holding her breath though over "JR" being voted out and refers to him as the SUSAN LUCCI of Survivor

TRIBAL COUNCIL... Jeff points out that there are only 3 original Fei Long members left... PG confesses that they are outnumbered and she is worried... "It is time to vote"... James does NOT play a hidden immunity (he previously said he would roll the dice and take his chances and not play the idol)... Jeff reads the votes... James looks like he is going to puke... "JR" goes by one vote

During TRIBAL COUNCIL Jamie (the first jury member) is brought in... and has to be reminded NOT to interact with the tribe members...
